While spreading the love ❤️ today, we can't forget to pray and give love, to THE ONE WHO LOVES US MOST.....GOD, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST! John 15:13 states, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his lfe....." Make no mistake about it that, GOD sent His only BEGOTTEN son(also Him, in human form), who sacrificed His life on that old rugged cross FOR US. NOW THAT'S LOVE! Furthermore, He gave us the gift of our Earthly 🌎 family and friends that we also love on & celebrate.....THIS VERY DAY OF FEB. 14(which should be an everyday practice😊).So YES!!!!!!!...... be sure to pray today(and everyday) and spread the love of God. And remember "IN LOVE", those that are no longer with us(their LOVE still lingers). Smile, GOD LOVES YOU.....(the #1 relationship, if not, MAKE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP GOALS🤣)!Be blessed!
